A review by meigs
The Ghost and Mrs. McClure by Alice Kimberly

3.0

I really enjoyed this book for the most part, but the subtle sexism, blatant misogyny, and casual racism (there’s a comment about a Korean person being Chinese) was a bummer. I get it, it’s a story about a “private dick” from the 40’s and I know the book was written in 2004 - so reading it in 2021 gives one a much different lens. But having that lens it’s hard to overlook. Overall it’s an entertaining, cozy mystery. I just wish white writers would do better.
